Smells like... BURNT ELECTRONICS!!!

[rohcky]

I was playing Guild Wars for a few hours when I noticed a distinct burnt electronics smell. I started freaking out, thinking one of my components melted. I shut everything down and checked all the main items, but couldn't find the source. After searching for a good 15 minutes I finally located the point of origin, a CCFL inverter. Damn thing nearly gave me a heart attack.

Aah, this brings me back to the good ol' days of my high school electrical engineering class...
